Infinite, unchanging essence;
Compound dark of elements unknown;
Subtle Protean form; illimitable,
Eternal; whence comest thou,
What was thy birth? O, thou ever-during
Advertisement
Shade of mystery, hear my cry;
Stir thy placid depths and answer me!
Wast't in teeming brain of grim Astrologer,
Or in the boding heart of Hell-begot
Mephisto, thy form was first conceived?
Or art thou then that void and shapeless chaos
Whence all things first began? A simmering
Whisper, gurgling stirs my sense. - I hear
Thy dainty note, my Ariel! - "They call me Mutton-Broth."
